Adidas Launches The Gravel Cycling Shoe

Adidas is on a roll with their new cycling shoe lineup, building on the Samba-inspired Adidas Velosamba that was released back in March. Their latest design, which Adidas calls The Gravel Cycling Shoe, is said to offer the power of a road shoe but with the design of more off-road oriented footwear. They feature a lace-up closure, an integrated cuff to seal out dust and gravel, and an outsole that Adidas claims has a walkable and roomy fit.

The Adidas Gravel Cycling Shoe is made from Primegreen, a series of high-performance recycled materials. 50% of the upper is recycled content and there is no virgin polyester used. They use a standard two-bolt cleat design, the three stripes on the side of the shoe are reflective for added visibility, and they appear to have a nice grippy sole that extends all the way out to the front of the shoe for hiking and grip on uneven terrain.

The Gravel Cycling Shoe comes in a wide range of sizes, from men’s 4/women’s 5 to men’s 14/women’s 15 and retails for $170 USD. Right now it looks like the North American website only has the all black version, while the European website has them in Pulse Aqua, Core Black, and Sonic Ink. Learn more at Adidas.com.
